Hi Aaron / Gordon, (not sure which one of you checks this) I just finished my third event and it went really well operationally. The biggest challenges are staying on top of event bookings as this year I am searching them out and trying to establish relationships. But I am gaining more and more experience in this area and how to sell what I do. Its much easier once you have pictures to show from prior events…and I have some of those now. I wanted to share some customer experience… My girlfriend tends to work the money window while I tend to work the machine while in the kiosk. I use the Snowie 8oz cups as my small size. #1 Customers tend to want to order a “small” cup for their child. I make them the standard way for an 8oz cup. Their eyes get big and they just say “wow” as we hand it to them. Its awesome. #2 Flower Cups. Holy cow. This is where the owners have as much fun as the customer. We use the large flower cup attachment and use the 8oz flower cups. As we hand over the cups to the customer, their eyes go really wide, they stand there in awe for a moment, then they are at the Flavor Station for 5 mins making colorful sno-cones with that flower cup. We snap pictures of some of them they look so good! #3 The sheer quickness of how long I take to make a small 8oz cup has moms and dads at the serving window just amazed and wishing they had something like that at their house. #4 People love the cool mist system. I make friends quickly with the police, health department inspectors, event organizers, etc who loiter around on occasion and I can cool them off with that sprayer. Its a nice PR device. Love it. Not too mention, my girlfriend is great with kids. She goes outside the booth sometimes, gathers up a few kids, and has them raise their hands in the air to catch the spray of water….so cool. I created a Facebook “page” for my new Snowie business since I get asked for business cards, website, etc and need a place for people to go look me up. Its called “NorCal Snowie”. Would you guys take a stroll through there and offer up any thoughts? Its my first attempt at this and would appreciate any input. Thank you again for the great products!
Reviews & Testimonials
The Little Snowie 2 is the real deal! Our family loves shaved iced – we consider ourselves connoisseurs. So when we found the Little Snowie and read about all the features it offered we jumped on it. So far our expectations have been blow away. We have a young family and some of the most important features/requirements for us were convenience, speed, and low maintenance. I can honestly say that this machine easily meets all of these. One of the best features – is the convenience. It takes less than 30 seconds to put the machine on the counter, plug it in, put cubed ice (straight from our freezer dispenser) into the machine and pump out some of finest shaved ice. It’s so easy to shave the ice my 2 year old could do it…seriously! All you have to do is press down on the lid of the ice holder, and it dispenses the ice into any cup/bowl you place at the bottom. It takes just about 5 seconds to fill an 8oz cup and, the unit has a great cone shaped dispenser that lets you form a round cone at the top of your cup. This makes it really fun for the kids and lets them be part of the process. Then of course you get to put the flavors on, which are awesome. Our favorites are Tigers Blood and Blue Raspberry. They are high quality, tasty syrups that contain NO high fructose corn syrups. We love our Little Snowie 2!

Hi just wanted to drop a line and say how absolutely delighted I am with my little snowie. This will be my third summer using it. I just took it out of it’s nice little box and and she started right up like day one. I just wanted to say thank you for such a quality product. I tried using some of the original concentrates sent with it and well they didn’t fair quite as well, so I guess it’s time to order some new ones. Oh dear what flavors to choose?? I’m sure my children and the neighborhood kids will have a say in what flavors they want! Thanks so much for our beloved little snowie.

I just want to thank you for making such an awesome product I can use at home. I purchased a Little Snowie 2 machine from Amazon.com for my fifteen-year-old son for Christmas. It has been the best gift he has ever received! Our family loves shaved ice and I first thought that the machine was made for small children and that it would eventually be sold at a yard sale like the cotton candy and chocolate machines I have purchased for home use in the past, but gratefully, I was wrong! We have been using it daily and it has proven itself to be a sturdy, well-made, and durable household appliance. At the rate we purchase shaved ice during the summer, this machine will save my family loads of money. I cannot thank you enough for the time, effort, and thinking I am sure you had to use to make this home machine work/last as long as it has. I will definitely purchase another Little Snowie 2 if and when this one no longer works, and I hope to be able to purchase a larger machine from your company in the near future as I know the neighborhood kids will be at my door year round wanting a shaved ice. Thank you so much again!

At first glance the price of this item seems a little high. Everyone including myself thinks they can make their own version. After close examination I purchased the ten flavor model. My first outing with this jewel produced $1500 in just three hours, a short event. I would recommend this product to any event driven business. I did exchange the ten for the six and was much happier with fewer choices. The staff at Snowie told me upfront the six would be sufficient and he was right. Go ahead and bite the bullet you be glad you did.
I can speak first hand at the Snowie WOW factor. I bought a second stand that was up and running and didn’t use Snowie. It was the first time I had tried flavors from another brand after buying Snowie and the difference was amazing. The other tasted like medicine in many of the flavors. I immediately ordered Snowie flavors and have heard the “WOW, these are GREAT” comment over and over. Tried and true and worth the money hands down.

I just want to Thank You for such an awesome product. My hubby is fighting stage 4 cancer and chemo has messed with his taste. He craves snow like ice, sometimes with syrup sometimes just the ice. He has use it several times a day since we got it. It always puts a smile on his face, and that makes me smile too! Thank you for such a quality product! So glad we got it!!! God Bless You for making a product that does exactly what you say it will do. Thank you again!!!
We’ve had our machine for just over a month and our whole family loves it. We use it every day and used it for two parties. Thank you for creating such a great, affordable machine.

I think I am in Love with my new Snowie Block Pro. I order two Snowie Block Pros. This machine is super fast and the quality of the ice is more than excellent. The ice melts in your mouth. Snowie built a quality machine. I am so happy with my purchase.
